I just finished testing it on windows 7.  I don't know if it's better or
worse just different.  I'm don't have a strong opinion one way or
another but I would still like to hear from some osx devs to get their
input.

I duplicate this code in 3 places where the white border was most prominent (toolbars in the manager, eeschema, and pcbnew).
